CAVS to DTS conversion is the process of transforming a video file encoded in the CAVS (China Audio Video Standard) codec/container into a DTS (Digital Theater Systems) audio track or DTS-wrapped file, enabling playback or distribution on systems that require DTS audio. This conversion typically involves extracting or re-encoding the audio stream and remuxing it into a DTS-compatible container while preserving video data where possible.
